National Aid to Education,

Senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
says that in the hands of the teachers
and educators of the country, the fu-
ture of our government must rest, aud
to them We must look for its safety.
Tho existing condition of tho public
mind is such that the influence for good
is largely bound up in tho relation OF
the nation to the public schools.
In the past the general sentiment of
the American people has been that the
schools have only local support. The
public school is, in II sense, the govern
tucnt of the country. The public school
forms tho basis Of the government,
Intelligence is its hope. 1t was the
formative principle, and without il,
government cauuot exist in n repubIi
can form.
IL knowledge is Indispensable TO
make, t. preserve and 10 perpetuate IA
republican form of government, then
the National Government should, for
its own defence, insist upon having all
of its people educated.
Citizenship that is based upon intel
ligence Is the guarantee of its roniinu-
ance and preservation. 1t is the simple
right of self-iefence.
Thus this power of securing intciii-
gent citizenship should he exercised in
accordance with the eXigency and
needs of the time. The support of the
schools OF the country, ordinarily,
should depend upon local tax. but
there may be times when the parent
ana tho State cannot dn this work
then the emergency should be- met hy

Celebrating the Golden Jubilee of Pope
Leo XIII in st. Louis.

, Especial to tho Times Democrat
So. Louis, Oct. 3.--l'he greatest IA .
ra!e that ever took place west of the
Mississippi was witnessed by II hundred
thousand people in ST. Louis to-day.
The occasion WAS the celebration of the.
gcldon Jubilee of Pope Leo NH, and
fully 10000 Catholics, decorated with
Papal colors, were in line. The process
sion was six miles long and it required
two hours and ten minutes to pass the
reviewing stand. There were over fifty
bands of music, half of them from the
surrounding towns, in the procession.
The discipline Of the great Church
was never better demonstrated, for II
seemed M if every Catholic man and
boy in 81. Louis had turned out to show
his love for "the Vicar of the Prince of
Peacc.' After the column had passed
tho great throns was addressed by
Judge a. II. BLACKWELL aud resolutions
of love and sympathy for Pope Leo
were adopted.

and, until general in
telligence can become universal through
the common school, there must be

the duty will revert to the State,
Hliteracy is the present danger. 1t
makes no difference in what State it
exists. An evil existing in one part
of the nation will itnperil the whole

portions it is remarkable how the pub

The New York Sun of Friday, in an
editorial article entitled Tights" dis
cussed the refusal of Miss Zalie de LUIS
sau, of a comic opera company in this
country, and Miss Fay TempletOn, of the
Gaiety Theatre in London. to appear on
the stage in dresses which they did not
approve. The article dismisses the case
OF Miss Templeton with the remark that
IL cannot be discussed intelligently until
more is known about it. Miss de Lus
sau's case, however, Is handled quite
thoroughly, and she is informed
that great actresses of the past,
such as Charlotte Cushman, did
not hesitate to appear in tights
when that was the conventional dress OF
the character which they undertook to
personate, and that distinguished &C.
tresses of the present day, such as
Modjeska and Mary Anderson, appear on
the stage in tights aud, that too, without
exciting remarks. =
The sun assures Miss de Lussau that
she need not hesitate to wear tights "lor
want OF examples set by the most repuia u
BILE artistes," and hints that only those
who have SO little confidence in their ar
tistic ability that they fear they will BE-
admired more for their figures than III cir
art object to tights when that is tue
proper costume for the character.
II what the theatrical critic of the Mir
ror, Mr.. NyIn Crinkle, says is true the
Sun would baye been wise TO have pur.
sued the same Ccourse with respect to
Miss de Lussau's case as it did in the
case OF Mics Temp leton-tbat is, waited
for further Information. This critic, who
appears to be we'll informed about mat
ters and things in theatrical circles. says
that Miss dc Lassau has a cork leg.
That being the case her refusal to appear
in tights might not be matter OF sur.
prise or u subject for criticism. A charm
ing actress naturally has more delicacy
in exposing a cork limb than one fash.
toned by nature. Now that 1t knows the
truth, doubtless the sun regrets having
caused the publication OF the real reason
for Miss de Lussau's refusal 10 follow the
example OF great artists.

Flowers, Not Black Grape.

A feature of Mr.. Beecher's funeral was
the flowers. They met the eye every
where in the interior of the church.
Evergreens and Gala lilies adorned the
walls, galleries and organ; roses covered
the pulpit and formed bed upon VIII lch the
casket rested, and ferns, lilies of the val
ley and pOtted plants added to the beauty
OF the scene. Nothing black was visible
anywhere. Evesg thing was as Mr..
Beecher in his lifetime had desired.
"Wear not black tor me when am gone"
he frequently said. He did not believe in
wearing mourning garments, and
he had no sympathy with the
custom that requires the wearing
OF badges which indicate that
death has invaded the family circle. He
looked upon the life beyond the grave as
something to be desired, and ne did not
believe in giving a gloomy feeling TO the
mind with regard to it by discardng
those things which are desirable and
beautiful in this life for those which are
indicative Of sorrow and woe. There are
many who think his views are the correct
on .s, and the time may come when they
will prevail. Why should we clothe our
selves in black and hush the cry Of joy in
our hearts and homes when death claims
a relative or dear friend? Has he not
gone where he Will be happier? We can
not avoid feeling OF sorrow because of
the loss we have suffered, but do we not
have the same sense of loss when those
we love go to foreign shores with 40 ex-
pectation of returning? Aud yet we do
not close our doors to visitors then, and
do not clothe ourselves in black, although
we know the absent ones may be meeting
with dangers and troubles.
